BARACK OBAMA'S SURROGATE

FATHER

In a Fathers Day column1 attacking Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, Colbert
King of the Washington Post presents President Obama as a good family man who has been
married to one woman and whose mother raised him to believe in hard work and education.
Since King has brought up the topic of Obamas upbringing, it is important to set the record
straight. Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis was a sex pervert who mentored
Obama during his growing-up years in Hawaii and became his substitute father.

Obamas father abandoned the family and his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, raised him only
with the help of his grandparents. His grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, had selected
Davis to be a mentor to a young Obama before he went off to college.

Davis, described only as Frank in Obamas memoir, Dreams from My Father, was a major
influence over Obama for eight years of his life. He operated as a journalist, first in Chicago,
where he came into contact with Obama associate Valerie Jarretts former father-in-law, and
then Hawaii, where he wrote for a Communist Party-sponsored newspaper financed by a
communist-controlled labor union.

It was Valerie Jarrett who openly boasted that we, apparently referring to White House
officials, including presumably Obama, had recruited Van Jones for a job in the Obama
Administration. He was forced out after his involvement in communist causes and the 9/11
truth movement came to light.

New Zealand blogger Trevor Loudon broke the story of Frank being Frank Marshall Davis
and we followed up, not only confirming2 the identity, but disclosing the FBIs 600-page file3
on Davis. All of this occurred during the 2008 presidential campaign but very few people
wanted to talk about it. David Maraniss of the Washington Post wrote a 10,000-word article
about Obamas growing-up years in Hawaii without even mentioning Davis.

Former Post reporter David Remnicks 2010 biography of Obama, The Bridge, takes a
different tack. When Obama was running for president, Remnick writes, the right-wing
blogosphere attacked Frank Marshall Davis. He was, by turns, a card-carrying Communist, a
pornographer, a pernicious influence. The attacks were loud and unrelenting.

The attacks were actually statements of fact and they came from those who took the time to
document Obamas relationship with Davis. This is a function that should have been
performed by U.S. media.

Remnick implies that the attacks were unjustified and false. In fact, Davis was a card-
carrying Communist (as proven in the FBI file and even admitted by a Davis biographer), a
pornographer (Davis wrote a pornographic novel under a pseudonym, based on his own life)
and a pernicious influence (he drank and smoked dope with Obamas grandfather, Stanley
Armour Dunham, whose FBI file has turned up missing).

Remnick goes on to assert that while critics of Obama insisted that the Davis relationship was
one element of an ominous picture of radical associations, it was neither constant nor
lasting, certainly of no great ideological importance. It is certainly the case that the Obama
campaign tried to play down the Obama-Davis relationship.

Davis functioned as a surrogate father or father-figure. Indeed, this is why Davis, who was
black, was picked by Dunham, who was white. Dunham thought Obama needed a black role
model.

No ideological importance? Obama would go on to college, where, by his own admission, he

would associate with Marxist professors and attend socialist conferences. Later came his
relationships with communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, etc.

In terms of ideology, Professor Paul Kengor wrote a column shortly after the 2008 election
which analyzed4 some of Daviss writings for a Communist Party-sponsored newspaper in
Hawaii and whether they were echoed in Barack Obamas views on economic matters.

In a Davis piece, Free Enterprise or Socialism?, Kengor noted that

Davis hoped that America and its economy were at a turning point, as if a kind of
perfect storm was brewing that could at last allow him and his comrades to
realize their dreams of a socialist America. They would need to trash the current
free-enterprise system and argue for a change to something else. Of course, they
could not fully disclose themselves, their beliefs, and their intentions, although
any thinking observer could easily read between the lines. The key was to gain the
support of the people who didnt know any difference.

Bringing this topic up to date, businessman Pieter Samara has just written an article,5
originally posted at Accuracy in Media, asserting that Obamas response to the Gulf oil spill
crisis is not bad management or incompetence but a deliberate policy of making the crisis and
devastation worse in order to usher in more federal control of the U.S. economy. Samara
contends that Obamas agenda of socialism explains why he failed to work with BP to get the
oil spill cleaned up, using proven technologies and offers of help from other countries.

Davis appears to hold the key to understanding Obama. In fact, Kengors forthcoming book,
Dupes,6 promises to go into more detail about the Obama-Davis relationship and its
meaning for the future of the United States. The subtitle is How Americas Adversaries Have
Manipulated Progressives for a Century.

But is Obama a dupe? Or something more? The unanswered questions argue for a serious
investigation into the communist networks in Chicago and Hawaii that spawned the current
occupant of the oval office.

Trevor Loudon, who exposed Van Jones before Glenn Beck picked up the story, has been busy
breaking all kinds of stories about the influence of Marxists over Obama. These are stories, of
course, that are routinely ignored by the liberal media.

In addition to his New Zeal blog,7 Loudon recently unveiled a new project and website called
KeyWiki,8 offering this critical information to those who are interested.

Heres the link9 to Frank Marshall Davis. It will give you everything you need to know about
Davis and Obama that our major media have done their best to carefully conceal. It is a sad
commentary on the state of the U.S. media that a blogger in New Zealand has to take the lead
in breaking stories about the Marxist background and political agenda of a U.S. president.
